A case series analysis of bicarbonate-based purge solution administration via Impella ventricular assist device

CONCLUSION: This case series adds to the literature describing clinical outcomes for patients on Impella support with BBPS. While BBPS offers a viable option for the management of patients on Impella devices who are unable to tolerate heparin-based purge solutions, further data is needed to determine the longevity of the Impella device with BBPS to minimize risk of Impella complications.PMID:37952169 | DOI:10.1093/ajhp/zxad278
